Title: Improvements in Stationary Acetylene Generators.
Inventor: SPARKES ARTHUR WILLIAM
Filed: 1908-01-14
Granted: 1909-01-14
Abstract: 836. Sparkes, A. W. Jan. 14. Acetylene.-In a generator, water is automatically supplied to the carbide through a U-shaped or similar pivoted tube raised and lowered by the gasbell, and the carbide is contained in a number of receptacles arranged at different levels. In the form shown, a U-shaped tube w, Fig. 1, is pivotally connected to the water tank o of the gas-holder m, one arm being open to the water tank and the other into a pipe d leading to the generator. A pipe 3 opens into the horizontal portion of the connexion w. An eye 6, on an arm fixed to the gas-holder, slides on the tube 3 and engages projections 4, 5 thereon when the bell falls or rises, thus lowering or raising the horizontal part of the tube wand starting or stopping the water feed. The generator comprises a vessel b, Fig. 2, with a water-sealed cover e having an air-cock f, which may be locked to prevent accidental opening. The floor of the vessel b slopes from both ends towards the centre, but not symmetrically, so that a number of carbide receptacles c have their tops at progressively increasing heights, and the carbide in one receptacle is exhausted before the next higher comes into action. Gas generated passes by a pipe k to the gas-holder, the end of the pipe dipping into water in a washing compartment l within the gas-holder. Thence the gas passes by a pipe r through a purifier s to the service pipe t.

Title: Improvements in Excavating Apparatus for use in Open Works.
Inventor: WISCHOW EMIL
Filed: 1908-03-11
Granted: 1909-02-11
Abstract: 5488. Wischow, E. March 19, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Excavating.-In an excavating-apparatus of the type in which rotating cutting-tools are caused to slide up and down a rigid guide-rail which can be moved laterally along the working face, the guide - rail is connected to two travelling carriages, one at the top and one at the bottom of the working face and moving parallel therewith, the connexions being such that the rail can be moved to or from the working face. In the form shown, the rotating cutting-tools are carried on a slide 10 moving on a guide-rail 9 connected by links 6,8 with carriages 1, 2 running on rails 3, 4 at the bottom and top, respectively, of the working face. Chain tackles 11, 12 are provided to support the guide-rail and move it parallel to itself to or from the working face. Additional sliding supports 13, 14 may be provided. The slide 10 carries, by means of rollers 17, 18, Fig. 2, a band 19 furnished with cutters 20, the roller 18 being driven, preferably, by an electric motor 21. The tool slide is moved along the guide-rail by an endless rope 22 led over rollers 23, 24 at the ends of a rail and a windlass on the upper carriage. The link 6 carries, at the end next the guide-rail, the front roller 28 of a bucket chain 25, which conveys away the material hewn down. Each bucket is provided with a cutter. Excavated material is delivered by the bucket chain to a shoot 29 leading to a travelling band 30 delivering to a movable hopper 32. The Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), includes also the subject-matter of Specification No. 17,147, A.D. 1908 ; this subject matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.
Patent GB-190808404-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Automatic Guard Device for Ironing-machines.
Inventor: CRAWFORD CHARLES JOHN
Filed: 1908-04-15
Granted: 1909-02-11
Abstract: 8404. Crawford, C. J., and Harry, R. H. April 15. Guards.-In an automatic safety device for ironing-machines of the reciprocating-table type, the displacement of the guard plate causes the collapse of a jointed bar, the members a, a' of which, when alined, are capable of transmitting the movements of the foot-lever to the strike bar. The collapse of the jointed bar releases the strike bar which thereupon moves and reverses the machine. When pressure on the treadle and the guard plate is removed, the device is automatically reset. The members a, a' are jointed together at a<2> and pivoted respectively to arms c, e<1>, the former of which is fixed to a shaft d connected with the strike-bar, while the other is loose upon the shaft. The foot-lever is also mounted loosely upon the shaft and, when depressed, comes into contact with a projection e<2> of the arm e<1>. The motion of the foot-lever is thus conveyed through the jointed bar and arm c to the shaft d and the strike bar. When the guard plate is actuated, the Bowden wire x pulls on the lever f pivoted to the arm e and so forces the members a, a<1> outwards until they collapse, whereupon the strike bar is released and the machine is reversed. By liberating the guard plate and foot-lever, the spring b attached to the plate c and to the joint at a<2> replaces the members a, a<1> in alinement.

Title: Improvements in, or relating to Springs of Automobiles and other Road Vehicles.
Filed: 1908-04-27
Granted: 1909-03-04
Abstract: 9098. Austin Motor Co., and Austin, H. April 27. Springs.-Relates to means for preventing sideswaying of the bodies of automobiles and other road vehicles, in which the ordinary elliptic springs, besides being secured at the middle to the vehicle frame and axle, are also connected at one end to the frame so as to prevent relative side movement. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the upper member C of the spring is pivoted at its centre to the vehicle frame A, and at its end to a, link c, which is pivoted at g<1> to a bracket G fixed to the frame A. The corresponding end of the lower member D is either pivoted directly to the bracket G at g, or connected thereto by a link in the same way as the upper member. The pivots g, g<1> may be replaced by a common pivot. The opposite ends of the spring are connected together by a link h, or may be pivoted directly together in the case where both of the opposite extremities of the spring are linked to the frame. In a modification, the upper and lower branches of the spring are connected at both ends either directly or by a short link, and one of the ends is guided in a bracket G<1>, Fig. 6, which is fixed to the frame A and prevents relative lateral movement, while allowing free longitudinal and vertical movement between the spring and frame. In a preferred form of pivoted connexion for the centre of the spring, the upper branch C is mounted in a box E, Fig. 1, which is arranged to swing about a pivot f<2> carried by a bracket F fixed to the frame A. The pivot f rests in a corresponding bearing e formed in the top of the box E, sufficient play being allowed both above and below the box E for the pivotal movement. The entrance of dust to the bearing e may be prevented by felt pads e'. In the modification in which one end of the spring is guided with relation to the frame, the upper branch of the spring may be fixed at its centre to the frame. Radius rods, or vertical guides adapted to prevent relative longitudinal movement of the axle, are provided in all cases except where one end of one of the branches of the spring is pivoted directly to the frame.
